Give natural color to textiles - from first creation to second life.

We help brands and designers build sustainability into every step of their journey.

Whether you're breathing new life into unsold inventory or naturally dyeing your textiles & garments from the very beginning, we help you create designs that's kinder to the planet.

Using plant-based dyes made from food waste like coffee grounds and onion skins, we offer two paths to circular design: upcycling existing stock into fresh, sellable collections, or integrating natural dyeing into your process from the start. 

Either way, you reduce waste, embrace non-toxic color, and strengthen your brand's sustainability story.

  • Sourcing

    We collect food waste from cafés, restaurants, and food suppliers.

  • Extraction

    We transform natural food waste—such as onion skins, avocado peels, and coffee grounds—into rich, plant-based pigments. Through technical experiments like fade testing, wash durability, and sunlight exposure, we ensure the quality and longevity of our pigments

  • Application

    Our automated dyeing service upcycles your textiles & garments, giving them a fresh & natural look.

  • New Collection

    Your re-dyed and upcycled pieces come back as a limited-edition, eco-conscious collection—refreshed, reimagined, and ready for (re)sale and wear.
